    I have enjoyed this forum very much. So now I am joining.
    My business Orchid Zone is of course well known for Paph and Phrag breeding. We also have an excellent collection of Lycaste, Odonts, Masdevallias, and Cattleya types.

    Personally, I grow plants that can grow outside in the SF Bay area most of the time. When temps approach freezing they come inside. I don't want to wake up to mush (LOL). My personal collection includes cooler growing Dendrobiums, rarer Masdevallias, Stanhopeas, Maxillarias.... Even some non orchids.
    Anyway, growers on this forum post some very interesting and rare species, which I very much enjoy.
    Thanks,
    JC

    Hey JC. I would guess that you are the new, proud owner of Orchid Zone. Of course, us paph growers now of the provenance. I heard that you plan to do more retail sales. If so, I would love to check out any cooler Dendros and Masdie species. I try and collect as many rare ones as possible, especially PNG's. I hope to see more accessible plants for sale, because I have not been one of the fortunate ones to visit Terry in the past.
    Thanks for joining and please post some pics when you can.

    Thanks.
    Marni -- I own some of your plants from EBAY in my personal collection. All very nice and good growers in our NorCal conditions. All I hear is praise about your flasking work.
    Chad -- The Dendrobiums and Masd, which are rare, are mainly my personal collection. That said, most don't qualify as especially rare by the standards of this forum. e.g. I am very envious of your cuthbersonii semi alba.
    On Paphs and Phrags, we have plenty of nice ones. We will post some for sale soon. EBAY, our website, and various forums.
    On OZ, historically we have been wholesale or have had a minimum order which was quite high.
    I am happy to have serious hobbyists visit, but we need to arrange a time as we are not a walk-up retail location.
    In 2014, we will be selling at POE and the Santa Barbara show.
    JC
